'''ipsec''' is actually an umbrella command comprising a collection of individual sub commands of the form 

  '''ipsec ''<command>'' [ ''<argument>'' ]  [ ''<options>'' ]'''

that can be used to control and monitor IPsec connections as well as the IKE daemons.

== Control Commands ==

'''ipsec start [ ''<starter options>'' ]'''

   calls [wiki:IpsecStarter ipsec starter] which in turn parses [wiki:IpsecConf ipsec.conf] and starts

   the IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons.

'''ipsec stop'''

   terminates all IPsec connection and stops the IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons by sending

   a ''TERM'' signal to [wiki:IpsecStarter ipsec starter].

'''ipsec restart [ ''<starter options>'' ]'''

   is equivalent to '''ipsec stop''' followed by '''ipsec start [ ''<starter options>'' ]''' after a

   guard period of 2 seconds.

'''ipsec update'''

   sends a ''HUP'' signal to [wiki:IpsecStarter ipsec starter] which in turn determines any changes

   in[wiki:IpsecConf ipsec.conf] and updates the configuration on the running IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 

   charon daemons, correspondingly.

'''ipsec reload'''

   sends a ''USR1'' signal to [wiki:IpsecStarter ipsec starter] which in turn reloads the

   whole configuration on the running IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons based on the actual

   [wiki:IpsecConf ipsec.conf].

'''ipsec up  ''<name>'' '''

   tells the responsible IKE daemon to start up connection ''<name>''.

'''ipsec down  ''<name>'' '''

   tells the responsible IKE daemon to terminate connection ''<name>''.

'''ipsec route  ''<name>'' '''

   tells the responsible IKE daemon to insert an IPsec policy in the kernel for connection ''<name>''.

   The first payload packet matching the IPsec policy will automatically trigger an IKE connection setup.

'''ipsec unroute  ''<name>'' '''

   remove the IPsec policy in the kernel for connection ''<name>''.

'''ipsec status [ ''<name>'' ] '''

   returns concise status information either on connection ''<name>'' or if the argument is lacking,

   on all connections.

'''ipsec statusall [ ''<name>'' ] '''

   returns detailed status information either on connection ''<name>'' or if the argument is lacking,

   on all connections.

== Info Commands ==

'''ipsec copyright'''

'''ipsec --versioncode'''

'''ipsec --directory'''

'''ipsec --confdir'''

== List Commands ==

'''ipsec listacerts [ --utc ]'''

'''ipsec listalgs'''

'''ipsec listcacerts [ --utc ]'''

'''ipsec listcainfos [ --utc ]'''

'''ipsec listcards [ --utc ]'''

   lists all certificates found on attached smart cards.

   Supported by the IKEv1 pluto daemon only.

'''ipsec listcerts [ --utc ]'''

'''ipsec listgroups [ --utc ]'''

'''ipsec listocsp [ --utc ]'''
